Biography
Harding was an officer of the police department of Blackwater, Texas, a major city in New Austin county. In 1911, Harding himself rode out with a posse of lawmen to track down outlaw John Marston, who was wanted for over $2,000. Marston succeeded in killing most of his men by the time he left the forest of Tall Trees, but Harding alone pursued him until he reached a clearing at Manzanita Post. Marston dismounted and shot Harding dead with his revolver, wiping out his pursuers.
